Some scripts for text files needed

Hi,
does anyone have some of those scripts or maybe have idea how to make them?

------------------------------------
1)
block of text multiplication n times:

e.g.
something1 something2 something3
something4 something5 something6

result:
something1 something2 something3
something4 something5 something6

something1 something2 something3
something4 something5 something6

..n times
------------------------------------
2)
put list of strings instead of x:

e.g.
put next strings:
0x0abcd
0x0efgh
...

into text:
something1 something2 something3
something4 x something5
something6 something7

something1 something2 something3
something4 x something5
something6 something7

result:
something1 something2 something3
something4 0x0abcd something5
something6 something7

something1 something2 something3
something4 0x0efgh something5
something6 something7

...
------------------------------------
3)
make increasing range of numbers:

e.g.
something1 x something3
something4 y something5
something6 z something7

something1 x something3
something4 y something5
something6 z something7

result:
something1 1000 something3
something4 1611 something5
something6 2105 something7

something1 1001 something3
something4 1612 something5
something6 2106 something7

...
------------------------------------

Thanks!
